Hey Guys,

So ive picked up a bunch of alpine gear.

The following is what i got:

Alpine Sub Type X 12 inch

Alpine Amp MRV F345 (4 Channel)

Alpine Amp MRD M1005 (Mono Amp)

Alpine Headunit 7874EB (Yes its a bit old, but ive have it in my car already)

Basically what i want to do is get some good front speakers... i was thinking (Following the Alpine theme)

Alpine SPR-17S Type-R 6-1/2" Component 2-Way Speaker... Has anyone installed these into a R33 GTS T Door? Hows the mounting depth? From what ive seen on the forum the stock speakers are ~ 57mm. Where as these type Rs are 59mm. Would i need spacers? Are these more or less a drop in speaker upgrade?

I think i will disconnect my rear speakers and just have front/tweaters and sub going.

What do guys think?

easiest way is to remove the door skin and take out the old speaker and measure the depth. But I'm quiet sure they'll fit fine. extra 2mm shouldn't be an issue.

I have the older model SPR-17S 6.5" splits and they went in fine into a 32GTR. Although I had to make a custom mounting plate and trim the inside of the door skin a little bit to make sure they don't touch the speaker

you can easily fit the SPR-17S in the front of the R33 GTST, you do have to make a custom spacer though out of probly 18mm MDF as from memory you wont be able to fit the SPR-17S into the factory spacer.

Is this a difficult thing to do?

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
